Winter is finally upon us here in the mitten state and inparticularly, Ionia County. I have put my open water fishing gear away save one 13 foot St.Croix steelhead rod that I will use when searching the streams for winter run fish. I have spooled new line on my ice fishing rods and sharpened the blades on my ice auger. The lakes are beginning to freeze and folks are fishing some of the local lakes already with some succes. I will venture out this week and try my luck on the hard water. I am especially focused on Northern Pike and Crappie. I will post more later and hopefully report on my good success.
